1) Sometimes you have to use + and - on your Num-Pad
2) Do you have entries like these in your XF86Config :
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
Modes "800x600"
Modes "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Uli.
